In the 1980s and 1990s she worked as illustrator for costume designer Nolan Miller on the television series Dynasty, as well as in Miller's dress shop is in Beverly Hills.[1][6] Together Miller and Peterson would read over the scripts and design each outfit for each scene of Dynasty, before handing off Peterson's sketches to the dressmakers.[7] In 1991, Peterson worked with Nolan Miller on the film "Soapdish", which starred Sally Field and Whoopi Goldberg.[6]
